Josh Elliott has reportedly been fired from CBS News after on-air blunder

The New York Post's Page Six reports that
Elliott was fired surrounding fallout over his on-air
announcement on Friday that he was leaving his job as the anchor
on CBS' digital channel, CBSN, for a broader role on CBS News.

The column's sources say that Elliott's announcement was
premature and CBS executives didn't know he was going to quit the
digital job.

"This is a mess of epic proportions," a network source told Page
Six. "Nobody at the top at CBS News knew that Josh was going to
do that."

Elliott reportedly met with CBS News executives on Monday
morning, was fired, and then was escorted out of the building by
security.

CBS News released the following statement:

"CBS News and Josh Elliott are parting ways. Josh will no
longer be reporting for CBS News. We are grateful for his
contributions over the last year, and we wish him the very best
in his future endeavors."

Over the past few years, Elliott jumped from ABC's "Good Morning
America" to NBC News before landing at CBS about a year ago.
